What is a bedside crib?

Bedside cribs (also known as bassinets, side sleepers or co-sleepers) are an ideal and safe way for your baby to be close to you in the first few months. These cribs attach to your bed and let you lift your child in your arms for night-feeding or comforting. They're also a great option for breastfeeding mothers or mothers recovering from a caesarean.
